Zone Alarm has a conflict with MSN Messenger

[fei888]

Hi all,

I downloaded the free Zone Alarm firewall software and for the most part it works fine. The only thing is everytime I tried to lanch MSN Messenger's audio conversation I got an error message saying something like conversation with so and so has failed. Yet if I shut off Zone Alarm first then start Messenger's audio conversation I never have a problem.

Is there a way I can keep Zone Alarm on and still have a Messenger audio conversation? If so, can you please be specific on how to set up Zone Alarm?

My operating system is a Windows 2000.

Thanks for your help.

See here: http://help.msn.com/EN_US/HelpWindow_msg.asp?INI=Messengerv62DL.ini&H_VER=1.7

Then go to "Using MSN Messenger from Behind Firewalls or Network Address Translators (NATs)"

Hope that helps
